Pickmere Perennials

I was very privileged to be invited by owners Terry & Ann to enjoy the impact of summer colour in their home-grown herbacious fields and see their nurseries hard at work in order to supply companies like us with these stunning plants. Trowell buys most of its herbacious plants from Pickmere as we strongly believe in buying British-grown, top quality plants that offer value for money and provide clear and informative labelling.

Pickmere Nurseries has over 35 years’ experience in growing perennials. Many are propagated from their own field production, resulting in a consistent grade and quality. They are the largest grower of herbaceous plants in the north of England and have a huge selection of over 1200 varieties. The nursery moved to its present 2.5 hectare site near Knutsford in 1980, and added a further 3 hectares in 1990.

Trowell Garden Centre is an independent business originating back in the early 1970s with owners David & Barbara Henshaw, firstly as a landscaping business, then to Nottts County Nurseries, and finally renamed in 1985 as ‘Trowell Garden Centre’.
